Good evening everyone. I hope you had a lovely Halloween - it looks from your pictures as if you all did. Ruth went off to a friend's house for a party and I had Grace and 3 of her friends back here pre-Brownies for games and sausage and mash for tea. They were all very excited and poor Bodie was a bit perturbed by all the witches hats and shrieking! This is the smallest of my huge pumpkins, and I have literally a ton of flesh to use up just from this one (yes, literally!). Ideas on a postcard (or in your comments) please!!
I have had a manic few days so I'm sorry if I haven't been dropping in and commenting on all your lovely blogs. Today was very nice and much slower paced - I cleaned the house this morning (at long last!) and then made chicken and veg soup and pumpkin bread for lunch with my lovely friend Olivia. We had several cups of tea, and she brought ricotta, toasted pine nuts and honey for dessert which was scrummy. I am off to my book group tonight, so all in all a much slower and restful day, topped with wine and intellectual chatter (or general gossip - both are likely!). Perfect!
